[2] The results for the second quarter of 2015 include a one-time effect of NIS 25 million in Other Expenses regarding a voluntary retirement plan. The results for the second quarter of 2014 include two one-time effects, the first is a decrease by NIS 22 million in Cost of Revenues and the second is an increase in Other Expenses by NIS 39 million.

Nir Sztern, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, added:
"The influence of the fierce competition, apparent in the quarter's results, was manifested, among others, in erosion in revenues and profitability. The quarter was further influenced by high financing expenses in comparison to the former quarter and another voluntary retirement process, with a one-time cost of NIS 25 million, whose effects will be seen as of the third quarter of 2015.
With the operation of the landline wholesale market, we continued strengthening our position as a communications group providing value to its customers. In this frame, we have enlarged our landline offering towards the end of the quarter with a triple package, providing us a competitive advantage in the market and making us the only Group currently offering a real triple package combining tv services, internet infrastructure and provider and home telephony in one bill.
Cellcom tv success continues with full force in the second quarter as well. As of today, we have more than 40 thousand households enjoying Israel's new TV. In the framework of the wholesale market reform the Company is also experiencing great success with approximately 42 thousand households enjoying attractive prices and a unified internet service.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Company is granted the title of the leading cellular brand in Israel by the business newspaper 'Globes' and was chosen with 'Cellcom tv' as the year's winning launch both by Israel's marketing association and in a pole taken among Israel's leading marketing VPs".    

Shlomi Fruhling, Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Alongside enlarging our operation in the landline market and continuing to recruit customers to 'Cellcom tv',  the wholesale market service and triple package, in the second quarter of 2015 we experienced continued aggressive competition in the cellular market, demonstrated by continued decline in revenues from services. We expect the high competition level will continue in the next quarters.

Accordingly, the Group is committed and continues to act in order to adjust its expense structure to market conditions. In the second quarter of 2015, Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses reduced by NIS 34 million in comparison to the second quarter of last year. In addition, for a voluntary retirement plan the Group recorded in the quarter a one-time cost of NIS 25 million while the savings in payroll expenses we will gradually see as of the third quarter this year.
The Group continued to act also in the second quarter in order to reduce its net debt, which at the end of the quarter amounted to NIS 2.86 billion in comparison to a net debt of NIS 3.27 billion at the end of the second quarter last year. Free cash flow totaled NIS 119 million in the second quarter of 2015, a 67% decrease in comparison with the second quarter of last year. The decrease is mostly attributed to a decline in customers receipts for end user equipment and service revenues (including hosting services).

The Company's Board of Directors decided not to distribute a dividend for the second quarter of 2015, given the continued intensified competition in the market and its adverse effect on the Company's revenues and in order to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet. The Board of Directors will re-evaluate its decision as market conditions develop, and taking into consideration the Company's needs".

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenues for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 10.2% totaling NIS 1,040 million ($276 million), compared to NIS 1,158 million ($307 million) in the second quarter last year. The decrease in revenues is attributed to a 14.8% decrease in service revenues, which totaled NIS 786 million ($209 million) in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to NIS 923 million ($245 million) in the second quarter last year. This decrease was partially offset by an 8.1% increase in equipment revenues, which totaled NIS 254 million ($67 million) in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to NIS 235 million ($62 million) in the second quarter of 2014. Netvision's contribution to revenues for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 190 million ($50 million) (excluding inter-company revenues) compared to NIS 209 million ($55 million) in the second quarter of 2014.

The decrease in second quarter 2015 service revenues resulted mainly from a decrease in cellular services revenues, due to the ongoing erosion in the price of these services as a result of the intensified competition in the cellular market. The decrease in service revenues also resulted from a decrease in revenues from long distance calls and hosting operators on the Company's communications networks. Netvision's contribution to service revenues for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 174 million ($46 million) (excluding inter-company revenues) compared to NIS 195 million ($52 million) in the second quarter of 2014.

The increase in second quarter 2015 equipment revenues resulted mainly from an approximately 7% increase in the number of handsets sold during the second quarter of 2015 as compared with the second quarter of 2014. Netvision's contribution to equipment revenues for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 16 million ($4 million), compared to NIS 14 million ($4 million) in the second quarter of 2014.

Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 682 million ($181 million), compared to NIS 671 million ($178 million) in the second quarter of 2014, a 1.6% increase. This increase resulted from content costs related to the TV field which the Company entered as of the end of 2014, as well as from a one-time cancelation of a provision for communications cables expenses in the amount of NIS 22 million in the second quarter of 2014. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in direct cost as a result of the decrease in revenues, decrease in depreciation expenses and efficiency measures.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 358 million ($95 million) compared to NIS 487 million ($129 million) in the second quarter of 2014, a 26.5% decrease. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2015 amounted to 34.4%, down from 42.1% in the second quarter of 2014.

Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A Expenses") for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 11.7% to NIS 256 million ($68 million), compared to NIS 290 million ($77 million) in the second quarter of 2014. This decrease is primarily the result of the efficiency measures implemented by the Company, which led to a decrease in advertising, payroll expenses, rent, depreciation and other expenses.

Other expenses for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 22 million ($6 million), compared with other expenses of NIS 41 million ($11 million) in the second quarter of 2014. Other expenses for the second quarter of 2015 primarily include a one-time expense for an employee voluntary retirement plan in the amount of approximately NIS 25 million ($7 million), compared to a one-time expense in the second quarter of 2014 also for an employee voluntary retirement plan in the amount of approximately NIS 39 million ($10 million).

Operating income for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 48.7% to NIS 80 million ($21 million) from NIS 156 million ($41 million) in the second quarter of 2014. Operating income for the second quarter of 2015, was affected by a one-time expense for voluntary employee retirement plan in the amount of approximately NIS 25 million ($7 million), and a decrease in revenues primarily due to the ongoing erosion in service revenues.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 31.2% totaling NIS 216 million ($57 million), compared to NIS 314 million ($83 million) in the second quarter of 2014. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015, as a percent of second quarter revenues, totaled 20.8%, down from 27.1% in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the one-time effects described above, EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 241 million ($64 million), a 27.2% decrease compared with the second quarter of 2014 excluding one-time effects. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015, as a percent of second quarter revenues, excluding the one-time effects, totaled 23.1%, down from 28.6% in the second quarter of 2014. Netvision's contribution to the EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 52 million ($14 million), compared to NIS 90 million ($24 million) in the second quarter of 2014, a 42.2% decrease. Netvision's contribution to EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015, excluding the one-time effects of a cancelation of a provision for communications cables expenses in the amount of NIS 22 million in the second quarter of 2014 and of voluntary employee retirement plans in the second quarter of 2015 and in the second quarter of last year, totaled NIS 57 million ($15 million), compared to NIS 73 million ($19 million) in the second quarter of 2014, a 21.9% decrease.

Financing expenses, net for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 3.1% and totaled NIS 62 million ($16 million), compared to NIS 64 million ($17 million) in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease resulted mainly from a decrease in interest expenses, as a result of a decrease in the Company's debentures debt level, which was partially offset with losses from hedging transactions on the Israeli Consumer Price Index and losses in the Company's investment portfolio.

Taxes on income for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 6 million ($2 million), compared to NIS 13 million ($3 million) in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease is mainly attributed to the decrease in profit before taxes.

Net Income for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 12 million ($3 million), compared to NIS 79 million ($21 million) in the second quarter of 2014, an 84.8% decrease. This decrease is mainly due to the continued erosion in cellular service revenues resulting from the intensified competition in the cellular market that was partially offset by a decrease in operational expenses.

Basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 0.12 ($0.03), compared to NIS 0.79 ($0.21) in the second quarter of last year.

OPERATING REVIEW (data refers to cellular subscribers only)

Cellular subscriber base – at the end of June 2015 the Company had approximately 2.848 million cellular subscribers. During the second quarter of 2015 the Company's cellular subscriber base decreased by approximately 37,000 net cellular subscribers, all pre-paid subscribers.

Cellular Churn Rate for the second quarter of 2015 totaled 10.2%, compared to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2014. The cellular churn rate was primarily affected by the continued intensified competition in the cellular market.

The monthly cellular Average Revenue per User ("ARPU") for the second quarter of 2015 totaled NIS 65.5 ($17.4), compared to NIS 75.4 ($20.2) in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in ARPU resulted from the ongoing erosion in the price of cellular services, resulting from the intensified competition in the cellular market.

FINANCING AND INVESTMENT REVIEW

Cash Flow
Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2015, decreased by 67% to NIS 119 million ($32 million), compared to NIS 361 million ($96 million) in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly due to a decrease in proceeds from customers due to the decrease in revenues in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, resulting from the intensified competition in the cellular market as well as a decrease from proceeds from handsets sold in previous years.  

Total Equity
Total Equity as of June 30, 2015 amounted to NIS 1,130 million ($300 million), primarily consisting of accumulated undistributed retained earnings of the Company.

Investment in Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

Dividend
On August 12, 2015, the Company's board of directors decided not to declare a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2015.

The board of directors will re-evaluate its decision in future quarters. No future dividend declaration is guaranteed and is subject to the Company's board of directors' sole discretion, as detailed in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2014 on Form 20-F, under "Item 8 - Financial Information – A.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2015 AND SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

Network Sharing Agreements
In July 2015, the Israeli Antitrust Commissioner approved the previously reported co-operation agreement regarding maintenance services for passive elements of cell sites, between the Company and Pelephone Communications Ltd., which includes unifying passive elements and streamlining costs through a common contractor. The approval is for a period of ten years and is subject to certain conditions.

Following the previously reported network sharing agreements between the Company and Golan Telecom Ltd., or Golan, which are subject to the approvals of the Israeli Ministry of communications, or MOC, and the Israeli Antitrust Commissioner, the parties recently held communications with the MOC in which the parties were required to make material changes to the principles of the agreements between them, as a condition for the MOC's approval, including network sharing in the 3G and 4G radio networks, which includes ownership of half the radio networks active components by each company, effective right of use in the passive infrastructure, common management and sharing of the radio networks' construction, operation and maintenance costs. The Company and Golan are conducting negotiations in order to reach agreements according to such principles.  The Company estimates that a new agreement, if reached, would result in substantial additional payments to the Company.

According to the existing agreements between the Company and Golan, if approvals for the network sharing agreements are not received by December 31, 2015, then (unless otherwise agreed by the parties), Golan will be required to pay the Company  (1) the difference between the reduced payment it actually paid and the full payment it is required to pay according to the national roaming agreement, for the national roaming services provided and to be provided by the Company to Golan from July 2014 until December 31, 2015, which amounts to approximately NIS 300 million as of the end of the second quarter of 2015 (which the Company has not recorded as revenues), and expected to continue to substantially  increase until December 31, 2015, and (2) as of that date, full payment in accordance with the national roaming agreement, all in accordance with Golan's customers usage of the Company's networks, as may be. Should the Company and Golan reach such new agreements which will change the current agreement as to this matter as mentioned above, the payment of the difference and future amounts will be subject to such new agreements and such accrued amount of the difference could be reduced materially or eliminated.  In addition, the Company can provide no assurances that Golan will not contest any such amounts or that the Company will be able to collect such amounts in full or at all.

  The Company cannot guarantee such agreements will be reached nor that regulatory approvals will be granted based on such agreements, if reached.

For additional details see the Company's most recent annual report for the year ended December 31, 2014 on Form 20-F, filed on March 16, 2015, or 2014 Annual Report, under "Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business – We operate in a heavily regulated industry, which can harm our results of operations. In recent years, regulation in Israel has materially adversely affected our results" and "We face intense competition in all aspects of our business", and "Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Network and Technology - Network and Cell Sites Sharing Agreements" and "Government Regulation – Network Sharing".

4 Generation Network
In August 2015, following the award of additional 1800MHz frequencies for 4G technologies to the Company in January 2015, the MOC amended the Company's cellular license to include 4G services and allocated such frequencies to the Company.

For additional details see the Company's 2014 Annual Report under "Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Network and Technology – Spectrum Allocation".

Rights Offering
In June 2015, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and the Israeli Securities Authority, or the ISA, in preparation for a possible rights offering that would be expected to raise approximately NIS 120-150 million (assuming a full exercise of subscription rights), or "the Rights Offering".  Discount Investment Corporation Ltd., or DIC, the Company's controlling shareholder, has announced that if such Rights Offering will be effected by the Company, DIC intends to exercise all subscription rights offered to it and purchase additional shares if possible, pursuant to the Rights Offering, for a total investment amount which will not exceed NIS 100 million.

There is no assurance that such approvals will be received or that the Rights Offering will be executed, nor as to its timing, terms or amount.

Any offering of securities in the United States and Israel, if the Company determines to pursue the Rights Offering, will be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from the Company.

2015 Share Incentive Plan
In June 2015, the Company's Board of Directors annulled its March 2015 decision to grant options to certain non-director officers and senior employees under the Company's 2015 Share Incentive Plan, or the Plan, which had not been granted.

In August 2015, the Company's board of directors resolved to make a certain reduction in the options acceleration events to be granted under the Plan and to grant 2,660,000 options to certain non-director officers (preceded by the Company's compensation committee's resolution to this end) and senior employees, of which 1,740,000 options will be granted to the Company's executive officers, including 525,000 options to Mr. Sztern, the Company's CEO, at an exercise price of US$ 6.68 (or, subject to the approval of the Israeli Tax Authority – NIS 25.65) per share. Mr. Sztern's grant is subject to shareholders approval in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law. The options granted will be vested in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.

Use of non-IFRS financial measures
EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as income before financing income (expenses), net; other income (expenses), net (excluding one-time expenses related to employee retirement plans); income tax; depreciation and amortization and share based payments. This is an accepted measure in the communications industry. The Company presents this measure as an additional performance measure as the Company believes that it enables us to compare operating performance between periods and companies, net of any potential differences which may result from differences in capital structure, taxes, age of fixed assets and related depreciation expenses. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements, or other commitments, including capital expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company's use. In addition, EBITDA as presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, due to differences in the way these measures are calculated. See the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA under "Reconciliation for Non-IFRS Measures" below.

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as the net cash provided by operating activities minus the net cash used in investing activities excluding short-term investment in tradable debentures and deposits and proceeds from sales of such debentures (including interest received in relation to such debentures) and deposits. See "Reconciliation for Non-IFRS Measures" below.
